If you have a large area with extremely resilient and persistent weeds, the Elixir Gardens Barclay Gallup Weed Killer is your best bet. For starters, this weed killer easily has the strongest formula that we reviewed with a massive 360 g/l of glyphosate to make sure that it kills even the deepest-set weeds. We have created a Glyphosate free formula for gardeners looking for a greener more natural approach to controlling their garden weeds but still want results. What to Expect First off, the sachets come in a tough plastic container so you aren’t saving any plastic over say Resolva or Roundup for example, but this container can be used to store other things afterwards as the weedkiller is contained in individual sachets. The main ingredient is glyphosate which is toxic to bees and pondlife so this isn’t wildlife-friendly. Please do cut flower heads off weeds first, especially dandelions which are bees’ first food after hibernation.

Don’t leave bare soil. Weeds thrive in open spaces in the soil. Plant vegetables, flowers and shrubs close together to minimise open areas where weeds can pop up. Working days are defined as Monday-Friday 8am-7pm inclusive, excluding Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays. Targeting the dense green clumps on their own, moss killers can also come with added lawn feed and fertilizer to give your garden a helping hand at the same time. Pet-friendly Ease of Application: When reviewing ease of application, we deemed any weed killer that came ready-mixed better for the average gardener, as less time will be spent preparing the solution. We also looked for products that came with different attachments – such as a nozzle and hose – to make application easier. Models with additional features, such as a built-in pressure pump and adjustable nozzle settings, were rated highest, as these elements made the product easier to use.Unfortunately, Weedol Pathclear is not the easiest product to use as it must be diluted with water, but it at least comes in single-use tubes, so you do not have to worry about measuring out the concentrate. This weed killer also comes with a fairly strong formula that includes 125 g/l glyphosate. Pumping the handle creates pressure in the container, and when the button on the wand is pressed, the weed killer travels through the hose and out of the nozzle. The output can be adjusted, producing either a spray or a fine jet. To make sure that the Weedol Pathclear is especially effective, its formula also adds 20 g/l of diflufenican to take care of foliage that glyphosate misses. One thing to consider is that this weedkiller does not cover a large area per tube despite the powerful, concentrated formula.

REFUNDS & RETURNS

Included sprayer has two functions, a jet and a fine spray, so you can either spot clean or cover a larger area

Do not walk into treated areas until the spray has dried on the leaves to avoid transfer to lawns and other vegetation As good general practice the wearing of gloves is recommended when using this product although this is not a requirement Out-of-date garden chemicals need to be safely and legally disposed of. They should not be placed in household waste or down the drain.

confined only to visible weeds including those in the 30cm swath covering the kerb edge and road gulley – do not overspray drains I think we all agree that having the odd weed here and there is par for the course in the garden. However, those pesky plants can spread so rapidly, they easily have the potential to invade entire lawns and flowerbeds.

Whilst Neudorff might not be a particularly well-known company, their WeedFree Plus Concentrate is a powerful weed killer that works on relatively stubborn weeds. This weed killer is very effective, destroying weeds at the roots within 2 weeks. The smell alone is enough to indicate that it’s exceptionally powerful, so while it is very effective, a lot of care needs to be taken during use. It worked on all the weeds I treated it with.

Not having to mix your own solution or use a watering can or spray bottle is very handy, while you can even refill the bottle once you run out, saving the cost of buying your own spray bottle or ruining a water can.
